Sunflowers

Van Gogh, Vincent (1853 - 1890)

This is one of four paintings of sunflowers dating from August and September 1888. Van Gogh intended to decorate Gauguin's room with these paintings in the so-called Yellow House that he rented in Arles in the South of France. He and Gauguin worked there together between October and December 1888.

Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in August 1888, 'I am hard at it, painting with the enthusiasm of a Marseillais eating bouillabaisse, which won't surprise you when you know that what I'm at is the painting of some sunflowers. If I carry out this idea there will be a dozen panels. So the whole thing will be a symphony in blue and yellow. I am working at it every morning from sunrise on, for the flowers fade so quickly. I am now on the fourth picture of sunflowers. This fourth one is a bunch of 14 flowers ... it gives a singular effect.'

The dying flowers are built up with thick brushstrokes (impasto). The impasto evokes the texture of the seed-heads. Van Gogh produced a replica of this painting in January 1889, and perhaps another one later in the year. The various versions and replicas remain much debated among Van Gogh scholars.

(cross posted on Etc.forums on Etsy)We just got a free bed from our neighbours (yay free bed!). It's perfect for my son and we've been thinking about moving him to a big boy bed lately to make room for the new little one. ;) It's a captain's bed with three drawers underneath and a headboard with a shelf. It's in great condition but it's got a few chips and scratches on the wood veneer (as expected since it belonged to a boy).

I was thinking about sanding, priming and painting it, but I'm not sure how well the veneer will take to paint and also, I don't really want to do such messy work. Anyone have any other ideas on what to do to spruce it up and make it nice? I thought of covering with wallpaper (some or all of it).

Any other ideas? It has to be toddler friendly. Not sure if decoupage would work - he'd probably try to peel stuff off.
